Check and credit card will be last on the list . 

Check credit reports. 

That way your mortgage stays the same, but you have some liquidity in the form of a line of credit, for when you find a property.

I hear the stories of credit unions working wonders and I make lots of calls but I guess I haven't found that kind of relationship yet. 

Our credit scores are in the 700s and we are ready to go!   

@Kenneth LizIf you are doing the work and the repairs are under 15 grand I would find a way to borrow unsecured money through a famIily member , personal loan ,or a line of credit .

I have no debt other than student loans but unfortunately they have damaged my credit which I am trying to repair.

I'm going to go to my credit union and talk to their loan officer to get as many answers as I can, but I'm still at the point where I don't know what I don't know, so I'm hoping that some of you can provide me with questions or situations to ask the lender about that I may not know to ask. 

I am a local real estate agent with no money no credit and I work at a 9-5 job part time.

Will a Bank help me fund my first deal without any money ? Is there way to close a deal with $500? Can I just double close and pay from my commission and leave with 5,000$ profit for assigning a contract .?
